I loved this museum! It was a quality experience overall, and we learned a lot from the exhibits they had available. The first floor they’re currently running an exhibit on Prohibition, and it was easily one of the highlights of the museum for me. They reviewed key players in the prohibition act, and the woman’s suffrage movement. There were several interactive experiences that made it all the more fun. The second floor was more Texas History based, and we had a wonderful guide go over the woes of Sam Houston. They also had a nice cafe where you can get some refreshments. The third floor was another special exhibit focused on video games. They had a ton available to play with, and it was definitely a positive experience. I would go again! This is definitely a great museum for older kids. Parking was $10 and they had an attached garage. We parked there and explored downtown for the rest of the day on foot. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
On the bottom floor you will find a large colonial ship, movie theater and a rotating exhibit I think (prohibition when I went). Second floor is the Wild West days, and about the land and farming. Up on the top you will find info closer to modern times about media, oil and war.
Went on first Sunday which is free. Getting parking is also not a big deal. You can either park on street or museum parking. This museum is really nice, clean and cool for all ages. It was about how Texas was formed. We can also watch some videos to know exact History.Digital games for kids to play . You can see the whole museum in 2hrs.
Always changing to include fascinating new exhibits of relevant Texas history. This time had informational display of Hurricane Harvey. Our guest from the UK was enthralled with the rich Texas history so well presented.
I really enjoyed this museum. It's three floors of some pretty comprehensive Texas history. You really get a good perspective on why Texans have such pride in their state and identity, I had no idea the history the people and state went through.
They have a free day each month - GO!! Don't even think about it. For tourists who happened to come at the wrong time, still worth a visit. Very cool exhibits and at least one traveling exhibit. Would highly recommend; spent 3+ hours there and still didn't get to everything.
Overall, well worth the money, for adults and kids.
